QR Code Link to This Post
Handcrafted in California by Gene Baker, this gold b3 Telstar combines vintage-inspired feel with boutique craftsmanship and a versatile pickup configuration.
The swamp ash body features a thin nitrocellulose gold finish, paired with a flame maple neck, a substantial 10/56V profile, and a rosewood fingerboard. It’s a distinctive combination of classic styling and player-focused details.
A Lollar Special T bridge pickup and Lollar ’64 Staggered single-coils deliver everything from glassy cleans to articulate bite. The 10-way FreeWay switch adds series and parallel combinations, providing a wide range of sounds beyond a traditional Tele-style setup.
